This modern stained glass window, made in 1954 by the Benoit Frères workshops in Nancy, represents Saint Louis, King of France and an emblematic figure of royal piety. Saint Louis is depicted standing, crowned, holding a scepter and the crown of thorns. At his feet, a beggar extends his hand in a gesture of supplication. The scene is dominated by geometric lines and bright colors, characteristic of stained glass windows from the 1950s. The bottom of the window mentions “St Louis”, and the signature “Benoit Frères – Nancy – 1954” attests to its origin and date of creation. The dominant tones are royal blue, deep red and gold, symbolizing royalty, passion and holiness respectively. The modern geometric patterns give a dynamic touch while respecting the sacred nature of the representation.This modern stained glass window, made in 1954 by the Benoit Frères workshops in Nancy, represents Saint Louis, King of France and an emblematic figure of royal piety.
